The Election in Cecil.

We were unable to get the official
vote of the county for publication
owing TO the tedious count which at
some OF the polls run into the !ol.
lowing day The Republican County
Commissioners and Sheriff are elect
ed by handsome majorties and the
balance of the ticket was. elected by
the Democrats. The Democratic
majority on the State ticket in the
county is about 800
The democrats elect their state
ticket by about $500 majority. The
Constitutional Convention was de.
feated by about 10000 majority.
The probabilities are that the
House of Delegates will be composed
of 60 Democrats and % Republicans
while the Senate will remain two
years ago, with 4 Republicans out of
26 members; thus making the Leg.
islature Democratic by 60 on joint
ballot.

Tuesday was one of the finest In.
dian Summer days of the season,
and in consequence the turnout to
the several polling places in the
county was very large. At Rising
Sun the vote cast numbered COG, the
total registered vote of the 9Th
district being about $50.
A we'll dressed throng assembled
about the polling window and lost
led on the street, as quiet and or
derby AS though they were attending
church. They c!.atted and laughed
and joked. but not loud wo rid or
angry voice was heard the entire
day.
The old citizens whose memory
ran back 30 or 40 years were often
heard discussing the marked con.
trast between election day of the
present week and one of those from
which the life time of a general.
separates us. In those good old
days when rum was consid cred tho
prime necessity of election day and
one of the indispensable refreshments
at every gathering, beastly drunk
men lay SOLDERING and wallowing
about the porch and bar, devilish
drunk men were stripping and bant :
ering each otter for fight, and beat
ing and pommeling each other like
beasts of prey, while insane drunk
men stormed and yelled, filling the
air with shocking profanity. With
the saloon and with it whiskey this
Saturnalla is changed to day of
Sabbath order, friendship and good
fellowship. Who can contemplate
such change and say prohibition
fails of its object, and falls shoIt of
what its advocates claim for it? Lii.
censed whiskey selling has been ban.
ished from Cecil County for ever
and the people say Amen.

Tree-P!anting In Washington.

Washington City has now growing
IN Its small parks, avenues and streets
over 5000 forest trees, which have
been planted under the direction Of
the Parking Con ission, OF which
William Il. Smith, the curator of the
Botanic GaTd an, ard William Saunders
of the AGRICULTURAL Department are
the controlling minds.
The commission are at work on the
construction of an avenue which occu-
pies the site of the old canal, now

Capitol and the Potomac River, and
Is about three quarters of a mile in
length, and over 200 feet in width.

rows of trees on the outer edges,
and q foot walk through the centre,

altogether, and so arranged that the
general effect viii be excellent.
The commissioners have chosen the
eucalyptus tree for this boulevard be-
cause Of its well known qualities for
preventing malaria
The commissioners will set ou5 q
large number of trees OF various spec
les all over the city. For instance, on
the Boundary, east of Seventh Street,
there will be Oriental sycamores, and
west OF Seventh Street, Occidental
sycamores.
Around the little park In front of the
National Theatre viii be Norway

shade, viii not obstruct the view from
the buildings on T. Street.
They viii also set out q great many
American lindens, and by the time they

The Astonishingly Ingenious Production
of a Village Matchmaker.

In the village of Pittenween. in Scot

made and exhibited by Mr.. Smith. q
clock and matchmaker of that place
an automatical clock, which, from the
QeScrl ptlon given of il at that time ap-

kind ever produced. 1t comprehended
very striking Illustration of the musi-

OF Scotland.
The case, which was of the finest ma
hoGany, was seven feet high, with fut "a
columns on each side. The upper part
OF tie clock was ornamented with clrv-
Ing, fret work and gliding, with gol len
bird having its wings extended standing
il the centre.
The case contained a large eiCht-day
musical clock. with three dial plates and a
chime OF sixteen bells.
The whole clock was divided into five
different parts, each of which had its
own particular wCi-ht.
The first was the -Oing part: the sec
ond kept u small musical band in motion
The band played u tavoritc tune over
once before striking the hour.
The third part struck the hour: the
fourth moved a large musical band, con-
tanning eight celebrated Scotch tunes.
one OF which played every three hours
with great eXactness.

was about eighteen iacheS in diameter.
had an arch which showrd the hours.

the Dad days in one night and brought
out he first OF March on the following
morning.
In the plate there were also two small
hands, one OF which discovered the day
OF the woek.
When Sunday came there appeared the
words: . Remember Sunday" and at
IL o'clock the music stopped playing
until II o'clock on Sunday night. The
music hen began again and continued
un-il the next Saturday night.

Oneday he had the temerity to move
to amend a resolution by John Ran

Mr.. Randolph rose up after the

drawing his watch from his fob, asked

Mr.. Pound-Jackson, after his second

however, for two wills were left, pro-
